I do like the bear character's random call outs. Nutrition!

I think Zed (Tetris robot) is the Nutrition guy. Dr. Bearman yells out "Tenderness!" and other things vaguely relationship-themed. Also, it took forever to figure out Klug's basic attack line. He shouts "Awaken!" so fast you can barely understand it.
Oh, and can someone kinda sum up some of the English alt voices? I saw someone mention Sig's.

Handheld mode is great IMO. The buttons are fine.
Single JoyCons I dislike. I find them uncomofrtable and don't like playing these type of games with an analog stick.
I'm addicted to this demo... next week can't get here soon enough.
The gameplay is perfect on both sides, controls feel incredibly tight and satisfying, and the presentation is top notch even if some of the voice acting is a little iffy. But I kinda like how cheesy it is
I know I'm gonna end up sinking hours upon hours into the full game and I can't wait.

Is there a video where I can hear Sig's alternate English voice?
Yeah this game is difficult! Enjoying the demo though.

I've been playing the demo against 3 CPU players and get absolutely crushed almost every match. dayum!
Just cheat and set the CPUs to 'spicy', meaning it will be harder for them to win.
I've been playing this a lot with family, and we're all addicted to it now.

Me neither, even when I put significant handicaps on the CPU.
I can hold my own against standard AI pretty well, unless Rulue is playing Puyo, in which case my defeat is swift and crushing.
They come up in Party and Fusion mode, from what I've seen.

Played by myself "yea that's Tetris", played with girlfriend when we got back last night .... played it a ton today.
This is such a fun local multiplayer experience on the switch!

Apparently there's some cheat code to unlock the rest of the modes in the demo?

combo up - in puyo set up chains so when you pop one color, they drop and set off another set of colors to pop
in tetris get that 5 line elimination

Would be cool if I could try this before launch!
Mashing buttons like an idiot awards me no such prizes.
Would be nice if true...

Glitch works, no idea why the other modes are even functional but I was able to play Party and Big Bang.
Instructions, as per the poster:
"Choose multiplayer... Then choose any of the two options, so it brings up the controller screen thing. Make sure Player One's one starts as the scheme with two JCs together... Then click the Zs on one of the pair, and immediately press cancel ...If it works, it'll bring up the "How Many Players" box, cancel again, then it should let you select one of the "locked" options."
Same, never though I was this bad at Tetris. I'm no better at puyo either.

Quoting myself for a new page because I still haven't figured this out. I've both beaten and been demolished by CPU on both Spicy and Sweet so I could use some help understanding how the "handicap" functionality works. It didn't feel any easier or harder one way or the other.
Yeah, first time I play it. But I suck at Tetris too.

I never played puyo puyo before this demo and I am so so much better at it than tetris.

Only works with four Joy-Cons, according to that source (I can't get it to work with two). Not surprised that the other game modes are built in given the file size of the demo (685 MB), which is way out of scale to the content on offer and is actually a heftier chunk of data than the Splatoon 2 Testfire (or indeed, any of the indie titles I've downloaded onto my Switch so far).

This voicework is Puyo to me, love that this was localized. Can't wait!
Sweet lowers the drop speed (automatic and soft) in both games and lowers the number of colors you have to deal with in Puyo to three. Spicy raises drop speed and bumps the color count to five.

I thought it was just me, but it seems the english demo is much more difficult then the japanese demo. It could just be in my head though.

Guys, don't forget there's a full tutorial on Puyo and Tetris in the demo (and they're very good too).
Hmm? To me it feels like they toned it down quite a bit. I only loose in the English demo when I'm messing around and practicing new strategies. In the JP one the CPU does a much better job at harassing me.
